Noel, Thanks for the offer. I wanted to respond sooner - but email was down : ( The rush is definitely there, but my employer realizes the importance of getting it done right, so they are being patient.
I think I am making some progress - I have found some resources on the subject. Currently the action of my form calls a "controller" JSP page. This page uses a Bean that I created. The bean uses the same fields as the form and performs all the validation. The controller JSP checks if validate then forward to processing page, else retry. I have written all the code for the form validation and will be testing it today. I will be posting if I run into any problems. Hopefully your offer still stands if it comes down to that :) Denise Mangano Help Desk Analyst Complus Data Innovations, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.

Do you mind embedding some simple scriptlets in your JSP page, or are you going to hold out of purity? If you want to contact me off-line, I can give you a telephone number and walk you through some of it. I am not in the office, but I might be able to grab some code off one of the live servers and clean it up for you. Yes, I would suggest that you create a Java Bean with the same fields as the form. Add some methods to the bean so that validation is done in the bean, not by the page. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Denise Mangano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 15:31 To: 'Tomcat Users List ' Subject: RE: Question - Form Validation It seems to me that Struts is more for large scale enterprise webapps. Eventually once my webapp is up and running in a production environment, if our project seems to be more popular than expected, then updates will be necessary and alternative approaches will be considered. In the meantime, our webapp is for less than medium size organization, the site is pretty simple - just select the fee you are paying and provide the cc info for processing - all this for a pretty stable number of users (for the time being). Can anyone provide links to any resources for form validation with JSP - not using Struts? I have a couple of books, but none seem to go into enough detail.. Thanks :) Denise -----Original Message----- From: Noel J. Bergman To: Tomcat Users List Sent: 12/27/2002 11:34 PM Subject: RE: Question - Form Validation Denise, There are a number of ways to do it. One is to build a Struts application. Another is to have the form post back to itself. If it likes the form data (validates), then it can forward to the target page. There are various other solutions. --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
